****USM Soap Opera**** .. (11)...~SpaceCase

Heckler woke up in his cage realizing it was all a dream. When he peeked out at all the noise, he laughed when he saw Bride on a huge ladder getting ready to blow the lock on Frankenstein's cage. Frank was huddled in a ball as far from the locked door as possible. He pinched himself to make sure he was awake and then yelled at TexasAngi who was still asleep.

"Hurry up! I think we're under constant surveillance," Flame-on was crowing, "And Kronk and Shadowghost have probably warned the dirty bat, if the camaras didn't!"

>~>B*O*O*O*O*M<~<

Frank quickly broke out of his cage and followed Bride down the long, shaky ladder. "I say we save Flame-on last," he chidded as he reached the bottom rung and grabbed up his woman in a tight squeeze. *************************************************************************

Almost completely out of breath, the bumbling pair of villians informed a troubled Fallin Angel of the warehouse scene.

"What??" She roared, quickly morphing into a snow-white owl. She flew out the door in search of her bat-man. Kronk and ShadowGhost just stood there for a moment before Shadow broke the silence.

"So, I'm hungry, let's go get a bite to eat," she said, heading for the exit. Kronk followed behind, rubbing his empty belly.

Meanwhile, Cujo was in his St. Bernard state when VampyreGerbil ripped through the still air under the bridge. "Have you got my information?" He asked as he returned to his human form.

VG also shifted back after landing nearby. "Look, I'm not sure we'll ever find out this USMer's identity. All the caged nuts are as clueless as we are. I just don't think you have to worry."

"I'll be the one giving orders around here!!!" Cujo's voice shook a few cracks into the bridgework. **************************************************************************

"So, how bad is it doc?" CoryAnn looked straight into Dr. Zema's eyes and awaited the truth.

"Well dear, when you slammed into the car in front of you, you caused a major sprain in your neck, you are going to be in that thing for a few months, hun." Answered Zema. "You also have a small amount of internal bleeding, but we are controlling that with this IV right here, filled with antibiotics."

"Well I don't hurt, I feel like I could get up right now, if I wasn't so tired." CoryAnn insisted, her eyes heavy, almost closed.

The beautiful doctor laughed, "Don't you dare! We've got you doped up to high heaven. This here is a morphine drip. I will be checking on you through-out the night, so get some rest," Zema gently brushed CoryAnn's bangs out of her eyes, then reached behind her bed and cut off the lights. *****************************************************************************

Kiki Times was hoppin' with all the wild USMers. Base and Telsha were on stage singing "Summer Nights" slightly out of tune. Rusure was cutting it up with Private Lady, Lemon and BeckyDew; and Moongirl was dancing nearby. Zayden was in the corner playing a game of pool with Hey Larry, who had his very own lounge chair that Kiki brought in just for him.

"Has anyone seen Toodles lately," Private Lady asked. "I haven't seen her since the Grape Stompin' Festival last month...she was with that no good hamster and his group of thugs."

"That's Gerbil," Becky corrected her, "But a varment's a varment, and they all creep me out!" Turning to Moongirl, she continued, "Moongirl and I just saw her yesterday and the florists. She was really acting strange. She hurried out of there pretty quick!"

Just arriving, still in their scrubs, LuvBug looked at Rika and added, "We saw Toodles coming out of your apartment just a few minutes ago Private Lady...we thought you must be sick or something. I didn't even think to ask her what she was doing, sorry!"

"I knew it!" PL ran off quickly to find Kiki.
